According to the Provincial Electricity Authority ( PEA ), electricity sold to Myanmar must adhere to Thai-Myanmar protocol and will stop distribution if contract bleaching is discovered.
According to PEA lieutenant governor Prasit Junprasit, Seed provides power to Myanmar in five locations: Payathonzu Town in Karen State, two pieces of Tachilek Town in Shan State, and two locations in Myawaddy village in Kayin State.
He claimed that the Myanmar Embassy in Thailand had requested power be distributed to two places in Myanmar at the request in 2023.
Ban Mae Ku Mai Tha Sung to Myawaddy and Ban Wang Ha in Tak to Shwe Kokko in Tak were both cut off from the electricity.
Due to the group under contract not paying the electricity bills, PEA even suspended offer from Chiang Saen in Chiang Rai to Tachileik in Shan State in 2024.
He claimed that PEA had collaborated closely with security organizations in Thailand and Myanmar and was prepared to turn off power to stop contact center con groups and criminals from using Thai providers ‘ services to carry out illegal functions across the border in the event that such circumstances arise.
He also assured Thai residents who reside along the borders and rely on Seed services that such decisions would not have an impact.
